Admittedly, my artistic drawing ability starts and ends with stick figures and primitive sketches. My character’s faces typically have no eyes, no nose, no mouth, no ears, sometimes a head of hair, most likely a hat of some sort. So when I see a mural or piece of art painted on a wall, side of a building, or other structure I tend to stop and stare and respect the work. Over my many years of traveling for work and fun, I have come across some incredible pieces of art drawn, painted, craftfully displayed at baseball fields, municipal parks, and other public places. Here is a short list of some the wondrous wall art displays and murals I have come across and their location, should you want to go and stop and respect the artist (s) with a tip of your cap:

Greensboro, North Carolina – Downtown area, Rock 92 offices featuring some of the most colorful artists in music history, no pun intended
Martin St., Cumberland, RI – Hotel for Homeless Dogs, right behind the baseball field


Richardson Middle School playground, Providence, RI – water park behind the baseball field, you sense a theme of where I live to travel to?
Wrigley Field, Chicago, IL – lower level concession area with steps leading up to the spectator areas, home of the Chicago Cubs


Lee Romano Field, North Providence, RI – this is by far one of my favorite murals to visit and admire
Signal Rock Field, North Kingstown, RI – closer to home, I have been going to this park for over a decade for games, walks, and bike rides


Elmwood Little League, Providence, RI – this mural not only has great artwork, but an amazing message to go with it!
Polar Park, Worcester, MA – this mural blew me a way as I was walking up for my first experience with the Woo Sox.
